Avengers: Doomsday will bring together many of the Multiverse's Mightiest Heroes for an epic team-up. While there are still some heavy-hitters missing, the movie boasts an impressive cast that finally brings together the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four.
They'll assemble to fight Doctor Doom, downed Sentinels controlled by the villain, and likely an army of Doombots. That's going to be a lot of fun to watch play out, and a new promotional poster spotlights several key characters.
From left to right, we have Mister Fantastic, Gambit, Captain America, Black Widow, Thor, Black Panther, and The Thing. There was a time when it would have been impossible to imagine seeing these heroes standing side-by-side in live-action, so this feels pretty sciesmic.
During a recent interview with Buzzfeed Australia, VisionQuest star Paul Bettany shared his opinion on Robert Downey Jr.'s time as Iron Man being sorely unappreciated by the industry.
"Robert Downey, in my opinion, should have won an Oscar for that role [in Avengers: Endgame]," the actor stated. "It's extraordinarily hard to do. It's only some sort of snobbery regarding superhero movies that I think stopped that from happening."
Bettany added, "Because anybody who has ever had anything to do with making a movie knows that it looks hard to do, and it was. They did it brilliantly."
